I died? Why did _I_ have to die? Does this mean the next meeting will be about me? Do I get to have hot monkey sex with Robin Curtis too? ---

Wait! Point of continuity! Does **The Panda** speak, or does it just growl meaningfully? Or perhaps, it cleverly combines both… Panda:“Rrrrets rrrro, rrrip! Rrro, boy a Rrranda rrack!” \ Trip: “Doggone it, Panda! I was saving that catfish sandwitch for later!” ---

Maybe his mutant power is jumping on misspellings faster than the Panda pouncing on a jar of decon gel. \ Another post, shot down in its prime, lost to the tragedy of senseless misspelling. Kids, don’t let this happen to you! ---

I thought you really meant “sandwitch.” 'Cause every Southern boy knows the bread food thingy is a “sammich.” Hope that helps. (I’m really enjoying all my mutant powers. 🙂 ) ---

On smart episodes like the one with the Tholians, the panda is a brain damaged drool bag. ---

Yes I was the one who started the complaints about the incessant pandering whenever they ran out of plot ideas to steal from previous Treks. But the panda gained a life of its own asfter that. Hey, is this one of you guys? > [@](#): > > Tony Alleyne, 50, recently placed his small Leicestershire, England, apartment on the market for the equivalent of US$1.7 million, a price he said was realistic because he has spent nearly 10 years crafting the premises as a finely detailed model of the “Star Trek” starship Enterprise. Included, according to an April report in Australia’s Herald Sun, are a life-size transporter control, a gigantic warp core drive, voice-activated lighting and security, and an infinity mirror. “If you’re going to do something,” he said, “you have to go all the way.” Alleyne said he started the project as therapy when his wife walked out on him.

So, do the transporters work? Cause this guy could make some serious money if they do. Way more than 1.7M. re: phunky phoot phetishes - Are we going to see some toe sucking in the T’Pol/Phlox decon scene? I really hope not. God, I really, really hope not.

I guess he’d still have a normal house if Mrs. Alleyne had just stood by her man? He must have needed a lot of therapy after the break-up, if it took 10 years of home-improvement. Wonder what drove her away. Maybe that he kept calling the garage the “shuttle bay,” or his fear that opening the wondows will lead to decompression. ---
